where to find free stock photos

Sign up for a free account at freeimages and have access to nearly half a million free stock photos.

You can check the usage rights next to each photo before you download them. The screen size and file size are also available on each download page.

Some of the image categories include Business, People, Signs, Transportation, Concepts, and Architecture. You can also perform an advanced manual search for images and filter just for non-restricted images added before and/or after a particular date with a certain resolution.

Note: When you browse for photos, the small selection near the top are ones you must pay for, but everything else is free to download. More »

Magdeleine is an awesome free stock image website because of the unique ways you can filter the photos, unfortunately there isn't a huge variety of images to choose from.

Pictures can be filtered to show only if they are in the public domain or require attribution, as well as if they have a particular color as the dominant color. You can also search for photos or browse them by category, like Objects or Technology, or by popular tag, such as #Landscapes or #Mountains.

Every day, a brand new, free picture appears on Magdeleine, as well as a "Photo of the Day" on the homepage.More »

Around 50,000 free photos are available at Stockvault.net, but they're free for personal use only, which means you can't use them on a company website, for example. See their FAQ page for more information.

There are categories you can browse through, a search box, and some filtered sections that show the newest, most viewed, most downloaded, and most loved pictures.

You can also subscribe to their email service to get weekly notifications of new images.More »

Over 15,000 free stock photos can be found at FreeStockPhotos.biz, and in many different categories. Some pictures are kept in sections like Events, Computers, Animals, People, Symbols, Religion, and Travel.

Over a dozen license types are available so you can filter the images by ones like Public Domain or Commercial Only. The items can then be sorted by most popular, newest/oldest, most/least downloaded, and most/least viewed.

Different images at FreeStockPhotos.biz can be used for different purposes, so if you're not filtering the results by usage type, take note as to what license is linked from each image's download page.

Note: Some images are sponsored from Shutterstock and may not be free to use. They're listed as "Sponsored Image From Shutterstock" and are displayed alongside the free photos from FreeStockPhotos.biz.More »
